GO FIGURE

this banner is brought to you by @romancentold 🖤

IMPORTANT: while this isn’t an official hiatus, the news of Heeseung’s departure has truly shocked me to the point that I can’t physically bring myself to update any wips I have, including this one. I have so many ideas for this, but I’m in such a weird headspace that I can’t write it as quickly as I used to. I hope I can bounce back because I really do love writing this story. ❤️‍🩹

THE PLAYLIST

SUMMARY: park sunghoon is a never ending reminder that you will never achieve anything he hasn't already. he walks like the sea will part for him and you watch people fall at his feet like he's got all the power in the world ready at his fingertips. the sunghoon you once knew has melted down into an empty shell you can't recognize, taunting you into madness every time you step onto the ice. sunghoon gets on your nerve just as much as you get on his, and the unbridled tension turns from frustration into something neither of you can ignore. you'll be damned if you'd ever let him get in the way of your dream to win an olympic gold medal and you'll do anything it takes to stand on that podium in first place, even if that means your life intertwines with his. go figure.

teto i drew that instagram thought was ai

[ratbuchet]

finally caved and made a yume oc/self insert so i can touch netzach freaky style. probably wont be public about it in the future though because im very shy. say hi to Poinsettia. theyre a big fan of art/doing art, is practically netzachs dog and worships the dude (hes confused abt it but doesnt mind), hyperactive, passionate, kind of a beam of sunshine.

theyre also very extroverted and lovey dovey because back in LC they wielded twilight and i made a headcanon the fuck up where twilight users arent allowed to form deep bonds with anybody, because apoc bird formed from the birds extreme and obsessive desires to protect what they loved, so people who wear the shell of twilight are also overprotective/paranoid and out for blood whenever they sense the slightest danger all the time. so giving them someone or something they deeply want to protect is a recipe for disaster. now that they dont have to wield twilight anymore theyre free to love whoever they want and theyre getting drunk off the feeling.

netzach is going to be spoiled and pampered and he will never sleep on the floor without a pillow and blanket again. (poinsetti understands to not put him in a proper bed though because he once confessed sleeping in a bed makes him panic due to medical trauma reasons while he was blackout drunk and rambling)

Heyyyyyyyy mutual <3

Lemme pick your brain for a sec; Stalker!Dennis stalking Jack without realizing that Jack's been in the game a lot longer than he has. Jack thinks it's cute that this kid is trying to sneak around his house like he hasn't got cameras in almost every corner. It's like watching a baby animal pounce on their dad (fauxcest wink wink nudge nudge)

ily and I hope you're having an amazing day

It starts off so innocent. Dennis wants to find a way to prompt more conversations with Jack because he's just so shy. Dr. Abbot can be so intimidating and Dennis just needs to find some common ground to spark a little interest.

So it's logical, to Dennis, that he can do this by just. You know.

Breaking and entering.

But! But! He's so careful! And he even does the dishes in the sink as a way to make it a polite breaking and entering. Dennis just browses through the book shelves, pockets a pair of dirty underwear, takes a peek at some pictures in the bedroom. He notices a DVD collection of some TV show that Dennis's dad watched years ago.

So he brushes up on the plot lines and carefully, loudly complains to Trinity about how there's no streaming service they have access to that would allow him to watch the show. Says he's been wanting to binge it.

Jack doesn't take the bait.

Dennis goes back. Combs through mail, takes a peek at Jack's color coded calendar because of course he has one, steals one of Jack's typical black undershirts, and digs through some receipts to see what and where the man has been.

And then. Just. Occasionally. Goes to those restaurants and bars based on those timestamps. Wears the black undershirt because he's feeling just a little bit bold.

He gets lucky one night. He's been making too many trips, desperate to find something, anything to get Abbot's attention. On the calendar is a planned dinner at one of the bars Dennis has been frequenting.

It's perfect. It's fate. It's Dennis sitting in too tight jeans and a too tight shirt to show off his little farm boy muscles, and acting so surprised when Jack taps his shoulder to see what the kid's doing.

"Date bailed." Jack said casually. "Can I join you?"

And there's a flash of jealousy because the calendar didn't say date but Dennis can't focus on that for too long because he did it. He's got Abbot giving him all of his attention and he knows all the right questions to ask and the topics to bring up.

Jack's grin is a tad too predatory. A little too smug when Dennis brings up wanting to go to a Penguins hockey game but never having the time. That medical conference in Boston looks soooo interesting when is it again? Oh, you're going Dr. Abbot? You'll have to tell me how it is.

It turns into Jack asking if Dennis wants to come home with him and Dennis is metaphorically jumping for joy while Jack picks up the bill and has to stop his leg from bouncing in the car ride over.

Something something Jack kisses him first and is about to start taking Dennis's clothes off but pauses and goes "Oh, shit, let me turn the cameras off first. I don't want you to think I'm some freak watching you when you're not aware of it later on."

Dennis is about to start crying or apologizing or explaining himself or maybe running but Jack just grips his chin, grin still something no longer predatory but downright wolfish.

"Relax, kiddo. It's cute. You just wanted to get your old man's attention, didn't you?"

Reminder of what No.6 is mainly about, guys.

I love Nezumi and Shion more than anything. Trust me.

But their relationship was always secondary to the novels being a political statement.

This is an actual interview with Atsuko Asano, about her inspiration for city of No.6. She quite literally said one of her inspirations for it was the political environment in the USA, following 9/11.

For her to choose to continue this series right now, after so many years, is probably not a coincidence.

Their struggles are eerily similar to what many real people face in our world all the time.

I have a feeling there will be some pretty important themes in this new series.

I hope those who read it can appreciate every element of it - not only our beloved characters, but the reason they have a story to begin with.
